Good News For Red Sox? Angels Add Ex-Yankee, Clears Path To Re-Sign Outfielder
There still feels like there’s a move or two left out there for the Boston Red Sox to make with pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training in just over two weeks.
The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reported the Red Sox are in the running to bring back veteran outfielder Adam Duvall, who also drew interest from the Los Angeles Angels.
But the Angels secured outfield depth in a different way Monday by signing former New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks to a one-year deal. The 34-year-old spent seven-plus seasons in pinstripes before being released by the Yankees in May of last season following an abysmal start to the campaign. Hicks then caught on with the Orioles, playing in 65 games for Baltimore as he finished the 2023 season batting .253 with eight home runs, 36 RBIs and six stolen bases.
The Angels were Boston’s chief, and apparently only, competition for Duvall, but with Los Angeles turning to Hicks, it makes it easier for the Red Sox to re-sign him.
